Christopher Toole, the self-styled urban farmer from New York City who Mayor Bill Finch allowed to raise his herd on excess land near the police department's animal shelter, said Wednesday the cops gave him 30 days to relocate his donkeys, goats, pigs and all but six chickens.

"It looks like the Bridgeport Farm will soon be no longer," Toole wrote on his Facebook page. "We have just been given 30 days to remove all of our animals (except six chickens) by the Bridgeport Police Department."

What the mayor has called an experimental urban farm began last year when city health officials took issue with the several chickens Toole was raising at his apartment.

Finch granted the hens asylum on the animal shelter land, saying it was a good opportunity for an experimental urban farm. Toole then continued growing his herd with little to no oversight.

A report in Hearst Connecticut Newspapers on the farm drew the attention of the state Department of Agriculture, which quarantined the farm until Toole spent around $2,000 to bring the situation up to code.

State inspectors have since paid numerous visits and asked local police to keep an eye on Toole.

As Hearst recently reported, state agriculture officials and city police have been losing patience with the situation, but Finch's office had been mum on Toole's future.

Toole on his Facebook page is appealing for aid.

"Anyone know of a farm (or large block of land) that would be interested in having our family and animals as partners?," he wrote. "Looks like it's going to be a tough couple of months!"

As for Toole's six-chicken limit, that is the number of hens residents will be allowed to keep under a new poultry policy the Finch administration and health department hope to implement later this winter.
